The three game online modes, sharing the single galaxy, were pitched at the same time, i.e. at the start of the Kickstarter, with offline mode being added to the scope about half way through the Kickstarter. Offline mode was cancelled shortly before the game was released.
You're not the idea police though, by all means if you don't think it's worth discussing feel free not to but why tell what they should and should not post. It's not rude to propose something about Elite's gameplay mechanics on the Elite forum. They don't have to "study" anything, this isn't a university it's a game discussion forum not some arena for amateur academics to ruthlessly police each other.
Like the "Race to Elite" before it (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/race-to-elite-competition.76535/), the NVidia Titan competition (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...n-black-in-our-in-game-scavenger-hunt.131659/) did indeed require to be completed in Open only.
No it doesn't, no where in the forums rules does it state this. By all means argue with them, tell them why they are wrong , but they have every right to make the proposal if that's something they would like to see in the game. I noticed some other people in the thread took the time to explain why, at least they respect the OP enough to tell them what they feel is wrong with the idea. Just telling people to go away and not to post is pointless and if you're going to just tell everyone you disagree with to stop posting their ideas, you're the one not respecting the discussion forum.
All very correct but i still that 4th wall has a few cracks in it
Indeed.
The block feature has only ever been strengthened and made easier to use since that time.
"peril" ? Okay no need to make threats haha.. but seriously I'm just saying, don't chase people off just because you think they are wrong, it's worth talking to people even if you don't agree with them, especially if you have shared interests like Elite or something. It's why the forum exists.
TIL, thank you
Well then if I was genuinely interested in using some form of discussion I would simply start by listing the issues I have with it instead of just saying "no go do your research" because that wouldn't be helpful, It's just one forum member being rude to another and policing their discussion. If it was a discussion I had had before and wasn't interested in I would just ignore it. Also just because you may perceive something as a problem dosen't even mean it actually is. They can still say "I don't think that's a real problem" or whatever, and they may be right (or wrong).
Given that the OP has expressed a position of, I'm right, period, that is rich.
ngl I cringed hard reading that. But to address your point the OP said "a well-written war narrative, similar to CG's but specifically for players in OPEN PP, would really hike drama and excitement. Be a great way to launch Odyssey..." I didn't see any "problems" that needed a "solution" being proposed they just said they would like to see this in the game, I think there's obviously some projection going on wrt their original comment.
... he said using solo was unfair not using open.
Really...
If you wanna namecall me just DM me lol if it means that much to you.. what behaviour of mine is it you would you like to ban? Defending the OP's right to make a suggestion ? The OP said they wanted to see a feature, that's fine, they are not obligated to have their time burgled by everyone who responds to their post so it's up to them if they want to address anything you have to say. And yeah i guess there are limits on how rude you can be to someone just because you don't share their point of view on a video game's mechanics, I don't think that's "odd" at all.
